# Freshly Squeezed Eco-Cars The Citrus Car by Edu Povarchik Offers Eco-Friendly Freshness By Katherinev123 | Published 2009-11-19 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citrus-car References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/citrus-car-sheds-accessories-to-be-used-as-multimedia-center/) Fresh, fun, and best of all, eco-friendly, the Citrus car by Spanish designer Edu Povarchik is a car concept that—at least, I hope—will be a real form of transportation in the near future. The Citrus car is a [zero-emission vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/numa-concept) that derives power from hybrid motors which run on fuel cell and lithium batteries. It is finished in expanded polyurethane, [recycling plastic, ecological leather, and aluminum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treo), and as The Design Blog describes, the multimedia components within the car can be removed and used outside of the vehicle—for example, at the office or in the country. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Cars:** The trend of developing cars that are environmentally friendly and utilize sustainable materials. - **Zero-emission Vehicles:** The trend of creating vehicles that produce no emissions and run on alternative energy sources. - **Modular Car Design:** The trend of designing cars with interchangeable components that can be used in various settings outside of the vehicle. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The automotive industry has an opportunity to innovate by developing more eco-friendly cars that meet consumer demand for sustainability. - **Renewable Energy:** Renewable energy industries can take advantage of the trend towards zero-emission vehicles by providing alternative energy sources for these vehicles. - **Sustainable Materials:** Industries that produce sustainable and recyclable materials have an opportunity to supply the automotive industry with eco-friendly materials for manufacturing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric License-Free City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-la-2-deuche-concept.md) - [Water-Ready Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citron-above-and-under.md) - [Semi-Transparent Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renault-twingo-concept.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Electric Mini Camper Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2cv.md) - [Solar-Powered Autonomous Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cladrus.md) - [Electric Transportation Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-transportation-concept.md) - [Biophilic Design Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azulik-mobility.md) - [Electric Hot Rod Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hot-rod.md)
